My Pony [movable book]

Buffalo and New York: W.B. Perkins, 1895. Unstated edition. Hardcover (sewn chromolithographed boards, cloth spine). [12]p + text on both inside covers. Printed in brown. No title page or jacket, as issued. It looks, unfortunately, as though a center spread has been removed. Handling stains, but the 4 half-page chromolithographs are very good and brighter than they look in the photos. Front cover is chipped and torn, as shown. Back cover is rubbed and stained along the sides. Ca. 9 x 16 inches at its widest. The pony's head moves up and down (ears chipped off). "Designed & Printed by Koerner & Hayes, Buffalo, N.Y." Fair. Item #30373

Collection of stories and verse about animals and nature by M.A. Hoyer, E. Nesbit, Clifton Bingham, Emily Bennett, G.R. Glasgow, and Miss Fenwick.  Some pieces are uncredited.  The titles are "Ungrateful Mike," "The Nodding Mandarin," "The Train" (Nesbit poem), "Sindbad," "Buttercups and Daisies," "Little Simplicity," "The Snowman," "Not Envious," "The Foreigner," and "The Witches' Meeting."  The illustrator(s) is not named. Despite its defects, very scarce: not in WorldCat.  Koerner & Hayes were well-known chromolithographers, and WorldCat locates a few other titles by the Koerner & Hayes / W.B. Perkins combination but not copies of this one.  Shipping/handling will be extra; please keep this in mind when ordering.  Sold as is.

Price: $30.00
